While I appreciate the obvious troll, I think your skill level is ready for the more advanced, subtle art of trolling. For example, complaining about SC2 facebook integration on Bluesnews, which itself has facebook integration, is a bit too obvious. No one is THAT retarded in real life, so it's hard for people to believe that you're being serious.

But other than that simple mistake, you're doing a great job of trolling. With your dedication and persistence, I think you'll become a master troll some day. Keep up the good work!

Really, what's anyone supposed to say to refute your comment that Starcraft II is shit? We can't objectively prove you wrong (you're wrong, btw) and you're obviously just trolling.

I think Westy has a disability, and is not trolling on purpose.

Hey man, I'm congratulating you on your well crafted troll post. That takes intelligence and skill. The spelling is just as bad as the content, which is a very nice touch. I can see that you're a man who cares about the little details. But be careful. Just like in Tropic Thunder, your last post kinda went full retard, and thus loses some of its charm.

ASeven wrote on Sep 21, 2010, 22:02:Going to any of the popular torrent sites shows there are more downloads for the PS3 as a whole than the Xbox360, and that's saying something since the 360 download numbers were massive.

I call BS. I checked a few sites and not a single PS3 game was on the top 20 in gaming. Even massively popular recent 360 releases like Halo Reach have a tiny fraction of the numbers of older PC games.

Jailbreaking a PS3 is easier than copying a file to a pen. Oh sorry, it's as easy as that.

So it took hackers 4 years to discover how to copy a file to a pen? If only everything is that easy.

No, it took them 4 years to write the piece of code that gets transfered to the pen.

Yeah. I'm sure millions of PS3 pirates are very happy that they'll finally be able to play that illegal copy of Resistance after all these years. The casual console crowd was just waiting by their bluray burners for piracy to become this easy. Soon, console piracy will become not only significant, but will overtake the PC.

NicklePop wrote on Sep 21, 2010, 21:15:Pirates ruin everything. I agree the developers should release anyway, but the root cause is the moronically selfish PC game pirates.

Idiots, all of them.

Exactly! And we all know there is absolutely no piracy on consoles!!!

Totally. Piracy on consoles is way easier than on PCs. I mean just look at how many PS3's have working mod chips. And the number of casual gamers with modded 360's is just bananas. It's not like there's the constant threat of getting caught on Xbox live and totally borking your console or anything like that.

There's actually mods to get around the limited unit recruitment issue.Here's an item that allows you to buy any unit that you already have a stack of on the go for 2x the price:http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpost.php?p=61853&postcount=1And I believe there's another mod out there that changes the available # of units for hire to infinity.

The number of units in your army is still limited by your leadership, so it doesn't break the game at all. Personally it was much more enjoyable once I stopped worrying about being ridiculously conservative for every battle.

In any case, fantastic game and I'll probably pick up Crossworlds after I find the time to play through Armored Princess.

How good is this game? I have to admit the last time I played a HoM&M game was when HoMMII came out and I might go into another game of its kind if it's good enough.

I've only played the original King's Bounty: The Legend, and it is awesome. It's a lot more of a RPG than HOMM. You only control one hero, level him up, learn spells, find items, and complete quests. You can't capture castles, and don't have to worry about resource management or constructing buildings. The game itself is huge, and you can get it for very cheap off of Steam or D2D. A must buy for any fan of HOMM/Disciples or the like. Don't know about Crossworlds, but the first expansion, Armored Princess, is supposed to be very good also.

The only real issue I had with the game is that the difficulty is kind of all over the place. An easy game may become very difficult/impossible if you don't plan your build and army carefully.

Verno wrote on Sep 6, 2010, 13:20:No idea what you're talking about or how it applies to this discussion. I'm referring to footage uploaded to Youtube like 4 days ago.

The footage where Duke goes "Fuck... another puzzle" Was leaked back in April from gametrailers. The new footage is from PAX and is all a bunch of shakey cam stuff with no actual audio. Meaning that it's pretty silly to think that Gearbox would completely overhaul the fundamental shooting mechanics of the game to a cover based shooter, especially since you insist that the game is being pushed out in an "awfully fast timeframe".

Verno wrote on Sep 3, 2010, 21:51:There weren't 5 hours ago when I was looking but thankfully I didn't see Duke cowering like a girl behind waist high boxes on the ones uploaded to Youtube a little bit ago. And I will admit I did laugh at "Fuck....another puzzle?".

Creston wrote on Sep 1, 2010, 16:47:I finally bit the bullet and bought it with a 10 buck gift card (essentially making it 50 bucks for me :P), and I have to say that though I enjoyed the campaign, I got REALLY fucking irritated that 80% of the missions are fucking timed.

I don't want to be fucking timed. If I want to take 5 hours to do one map, let me take 5 hours to do one map. but nope. There's always something in every single damn mission that means you have to blindly crank out disposable units, throw them in the damn grinder, and hope you'll have some left by the end.

I'd have much preferred a few more of the "here's some resources, there's an enemy base, go kill it," missions.

Creston

It's one way to make the game harder, and you can always drop the difficulty to give yourself more time or ignore the timed optional mission objectives. There's really not much challenge (or difference from the Dune II days) if all you do is sit back and defend until you move out with your maxed army.

You may be frustrated by some of the more traditional RTS missions and mechanics, but there's a ton of variety. For example, one mission puts you in command of 4 hero units mowing down swarms of zerg in a RPG style dungeon crawl. The variety and excellent presentation makes the SP campaign more fun than any previous RTS to date IMO.
